About Fragrance Oil
  • The fragrance oils sold by Scent Memory are a manufacturing product. They are not skin safe on their own and must be diluted prior to use. 
  • Our oils are formulated to generally work in candle and body care applications, but must be tested for compatibility in your product. 
  • Due to the concentration of the oils safety precautions must be taken when handling them. 

What are fragrance oils?

Fragrance oils are synthetic or blended aromatic compounds designed to mimic natural scents or create entirely new ones. Unlike essential oils, which are extracted from plants, fragrance oils are crafted by blending aromatic chemicals and natural extracts. This careful formulation allows for a wide range of scents that may not be possible to achieve with essential oils alone and also allows for greater safety and performance in their applications. 

How Can Fragrance Oils Be Used?

Though they smell beautiful on their own, fragrance oils are a manufacturing product and must be diluted prior to use. They can be formulated for one specific purpose (such as for soap or in a candle) or for a wider range of applications - however, no one fragrance oil will work in ALL applications, so testing your products is a must. The fragrance oils that Scent Memory Fragrance offer are generally formulated to be safe in candle and body care applications. 

Are Fragrance Oils Safe On Their Own?

Just like any concentrated product, care must be used in handling fragrance oils prior to dilution in product. Every fragrance oil product page contains the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) in the "Regulatory Documents" tab. Download and review prior to using the fragrance oil. 

Safety Information
  • Fragrance oils are a manufacturing product used in making candles, soap and other products. They must be diluted before use.
  • Refer to the IFRA tab for maximum skin safety usage rates, and review the IFRA document carefully. 
  • Maximum usage rates refer to skin safety percentages only and are not recommendations for usage rates in products or formulas. Refer to your formula for the recommended usage rate, and do not use the fragrance oil if the IFRA rate is not rated highly enough for use in your product. 
  • Download and review the SDS (Safety Data Sheet) document provided in the IFRA & SDS tab. Follow all safety guidelines recommended. Do not allow contact with skin or ingest. Follow all IFRA guidelines for dilution in product.  Care should be used in handling at all times. 

DISCLAIMER: The fragrance oils sold by Scent Memory are a manufacturing component and not a finished product. Scent Memory is not responsible for any products made from materials purchased from the site, nor do we guarantee the performance or safety of the end product. Proper testing and ensuring compatibility of all materials the is the responsibility of the purchaser.

Bad Decisions

Bad Decisions is a very masculine and incredibly complex scent. It has a bold, layered profile that really stands out and holds beautifully in my goat milk cold process soap. The fragrance performed well during the process, and the scent retention is excellent after cure. Overall, a fantastic choice if you’re looking for a strong, masculine scent with great performance in cold process soap.

L.H.

This has a masculine scent. I think it’s better for spraying

S
S.H.

Incredible scent on a blotter from dip to dry down and lingers the next day. Masculine, with strong character, but not necessarily in an in-your-face way. Smells divine next to Angora Sweater to play with masc/fem notes. Looking forward to candle tests with this one alone and mixed.

Best seller! My clients are crazy about this one—so masculine and powerful. Total hit!

This is luxe. Strong HT. Definitely start at a lower%. Add the 16oz to your cart.

Such a warm and masculine scent that fits every season!

Perfume with masculine appeal. Smells somewhat green/herbaceous, but really is a perfect amalgamation of the notes mentioned. I get a mix of tobacco & rum first, leather & moss, a little sweetness up top also & then something spicy which is probably the cloves. So very unique, has an old school aftershave vibe as well.

J
J.G.

I think this is my favorite masculine FO ever.

J
J.R.

I normally wouldn't get this just by the scent notes but I am revamping my line and trying new things and got this on a whim based on how many positive reviews there are. hooooly moley, this one was a must have!

The most delicious, strong, sexy masculine scent EVER!

M
M.C.

Incredibly strong (in the best way possible!) This is such a classy masculine scent - It' spicy yet clean, and has beautiful depth - the grapefruit and bergamot notes bring a brightness that complements the deeper notes and makes such a well rounded fragrance! Projects amazing as a rollerball fragrance.

J

Don’t hesitate to try this one! This is not too musky, herbal, …the scents meld together to make one truly irresistible scent. None of the notes are forward. I got a tester size and fell in love immediately. It’s perfect for wax. I bet it would be amazing in soap too.

T
T.M.

This is a keeper. I am extremely happy with this scent.

The scent gives an amazing HT in candles, highly fragrant, masculine scent, however, women customers love it.

I love this fragrance. This was included in my fragrance testing meeting, and everyone loved it.

8/10 This is very mature, masculine scent. Smells distinguished.

I love this from first sniff.

I’m in the minority, but I wasn’t a fan. Smells too old fashioned for my taste.

This is masculine leaning and definitely smells upscale. I could see an older gentleman rocking this!

K

This smells like a good looking, mature man hanging out at a Speakeasy. Love it

Incredibly strong, such a gorgeous powerhouse, masculine, sexy, spicy... and very little needed which is appreciated by my wallet :) Even though it's masculine, my favorite use is in lotion!

j

Smells exactly like the original. Strong tobacco. Smooth whiskey. Men of ill repute. Lol. It's wonderfully done.

Such a strong, masculine scent. I have this by another FO company and love it and wanted to try SM's version and AS ALWAYS, Kristen works her magic with that special note that the others don't quite have. There is ALWAYS something about SM FO's that just stand above the rest. Thanks, Kristen and team!

Blend this with another t my incense line and its my best seller!

Why did I wait for this one !! This is a stunning scent on its own !! Just woody and spicy with a touch of sweetness. Love ❤️

I
I.W.

Love the smell. Made CP soap first and the discolor is a strong yellow just so other soapers know. The acceleration was more than slight for me but the smell is wonderful and once I make a new batch taking into consideration the discolor of yellow, it will be wonderful! Love all SM scents. They have so much depth and well worth the money to add to your line.....love it

M
M.I.

Sold out of these once folks could get their nose in them! THE STRONGEST THROWER that I have poured. Its way strong at 9% hot & cold in Ceda Serica wax. Will try a lower % next batch. Great work on this! Thanks!!

G
G.R.

Absolutely wonderful in CP soap!! Totally agree with soaping notes. The scent does not change in the saponification process.

C
C.H.

Fragrances are so subjective! While it’s clear so many people love this fragrance, it’s just not my vibe. If you are looking for a VERY strong/overpowering scent this is it. A little goes a long way. If you prefer softer/understated this ain’t it.
4stars for the fact that this is an intentionally smoky scent. Minus 1 only for personal preference. It doesn’t get more manly than this.
